Well said.
Of course, attention is attention. One has to wonder in this case whether it is
the message that is the important part of the post in question, or it is the
attention that is.
Angry Young Men often tend to be in a "look at me, see how angry I am" mode a
lot of the time, and when they don't get the attention they want, they get more
and more provocative until they DO get it. We have seen abusive behaviour from
Richard in the past here, and elsewhere.
